Mock Auction Of Cigars.

That aged system Of swindling by
means Of mock auction sales Of cigars is
still carried on successfully In New York.
The other day well-known Southern
man entered little place where cigars
were being sold by an auctioncer. There
wore apparently three or four mon who
were bidding briskly, and as tho cigars
seemed to be fine, the stranger competed
for choice box, which was knocked
down to him for SIS. Immediately after
ward the sale was declared closed.
The Southerner stepped up to the
counter, where apparent customers were
receiving parcels, and asked for his box,
at the same time rendering SIS bill.
You owe &c.," said tho cashier So
verely.
"For what7"
These cigars are sold In lots. not by
The box"
"Dut distinctly bid for one box"
"You are mistaken"
1--WE all bid for lots" declared the
customers.
The Southerner concluded he had q
bargain anyway. and that his friends
would be glad to take such cigars off his
hands. He thought that he might, after
all, have been bidding under misappre-
tension.
He wrote On order on . prominent hotel
where he was stay Ing for $50, and direct
I'd that tho cigars DO sent there. Then
ne went down town and forgot oil about
The matter until evening.
When he returned to the hotel the
clerk said:
1--WE paid your order, but We know that
lou have been swindled."
"Oh. no; the cigars ore worth double
The money"
Look at them and seer
The package was united. and twelve
oxes OF the commonest kind of cabbage
af cigars were exposed to view. The
ioutherner turned away In Intense dis
ust.
Don't give me away" he begged.
Rather give the cigars away-to the
porters-anybody."
The next day he took policeman to
the auction store, vowing vengeance.
The place was empty. and he invested
other dollar in treats to the Official.

amer:

THIRTEEN SUPERSTITION.
fts Strength and Prevalence, and Some :
tempts to Cure 1t.

M. Lesclide, who has lately publ
volume Of Propos de Table Of the
French poet, was for many years
daily companion Of tlie author of
Chatiments," and no tells us, e.
many other things. that Victor Hugo
fessed to the possession OF only
superstition.
Nothing could induce him to form O.
Of thirteen at table.
Whenever thirteenth arrived at
last moment II was NJ. Lesclides busiue
to pick up his hat and depart.
The vitality of this hoaty supersiit
which no doubt originally grow or,
tory Of the last supper ana ci
eac events which so quickly fo'r
IS remarkable
Any one who takes the trouble 60 +,
10 the accepted tables may see for h..
self what is really the expectation
human life.
1t will be found that. In order to obtai
mathematical probability that one OF,
OF a given thirteen healthy persons wi
months. the average age of the thrice
must, in default OF the presence Of one O
two on the verge OF centenarianism, b>
very great indeed.
1t must. in fact, be eighty-eight years,
and 1t is scarcely necessary to say that,
In practice, the united years Of q festive
party of thirteen never am0Nnt to the
requisite 1l44.
The annual rate OF mortality among
males and females of all ages Is only one
ia forty-one. and forty-one. therefore,
gstead of thirteen, should be held to be
le unlucky number.
This has been demonstrated over and
over again; yet the number thirteen still
Inc, In a. Ia -
lent people in all classes OF life.
In Paris there are streets In which
twelve bis does duty instead OF thirteen,
and the householders who thus ingeni-
ously sought to circumvent fate would
not for the world let the proper number
be painted upon their doors.
Some years ago Prince Napoleon tried
to laugh his countrymen out Of the su.
perstition, but his efforts did not benefit
his cause. for. with characteristic perver-
sity, he used to invite twelve friends to
carouse with him on Good Friday, where
by he graveiy scandalized right-feeling
people. whatever their theological views.
In America similar but less aggressive
attempts have been made to correct
popular error, and numerous thirteen
clubs have been established the members
pledging themselves to dine thirteen at
table on every opportunity.
In France, too, there is thirteen club.
the headquarters of which are at Senlis
and In England there is little coterie Of
thirteen men who dine together monthly
at a house numbered thirteen and pay
lbs. each for their dinner. and 13d. each
to the walters.
Yet still the superstition Is as lively
rs of yore. all over Europe and America
and probably it will continue to flourish
and to make people uncomfortable until
the end of time.
